What is the product of −3 1/4 and −1 1/2 ? enter your answer as a mixed number, in simplified form, in the box.

Mixed number is and the simplified form of this mixed number is .

Step-by-step explanation:

The two mixed numbers are

and

=

Now we will multiply these negative fractions.

When two negative signs get multiplied they become positive.

=

=

=

Therefore, mixed number is and the simplified form of this mixed number is .

step-by-step explanation:

to determine whether a given function is even, we simply substitute x with -x in the expression. if the result after simplification is identical to the original equation, then the function is said to be even other wise odd.

f(-x) = (-x)^2 - (-x) + 8

      = x^2 + x +8

the resulting function is not identical to the original one;

f(-x) ≠ f(x)

therefore, f(x) is not an even function
